What are Wordy Pets Mixed Media Portraits? They are portraits - we capture your pet's image on canvas, but we also add an element of text. The text can be a bunch of their nicknames, a description of how they behave while at play or rest, or even something they did as a puppy... anything at all that will help you remember them better each time you look at your portrait.
Our Wordy Pets Portraits are made with acrylic paints and mediums and may also use other materials such as lightweight cloth, transfers, crayons, paper and other compatible materials. The service includes an optional 30-minute in-person consultation and we can take a photo of your pet as well if needed (limited service area). How to order: Send us a message to let us know the size of portrait you want and how many pets in the portrait. We'll email you back and ask you to provide a clear photo or photos as well as the text or words you'd like to include. The images can be sent as hard copies or scanned at a high resolution and sent via the Internet or email (we'll send you the address/email details). * When sending images, please ensure you own copyright of the image or have permission from the photographer. If you do not have a clear photo of your pet, we can come meet you and your pet and take a photo for you (limited service area). Portraits will take around 2-3 weeks to complete. Hard copies will be returned to you after the portrait is finished - please do not send originals!
